Diamond Hawaii Resort

it’s a scam. please don’t get caught. stay away from time shares.

If I could this place would be a 3.5
I enjoyed:
The friendly service, japanese style spa, waterfall and stream that runs through the grounds, patio sunsets, and restaurant (Capishe?)
I didn’t enjoy the room. It was functional but not very cute. I was actually quite surprised because the place has potential but the room could use some upgrades. The bad hawaiian décor was of poor taste and I did not like the layout of the bathroom. There was a tiny kitchen type area with stove, small fridge, coffee maker and the tiniest sink. The happy bellboy did bring over a cooking set just in case we needed it. The TV was like an Apex Walmart special but at least there was a DVD inside. The bed was draped with a cheap hotel coverlet and I DO NOT like ugly hotel bedding. Overall the room worked because I didn’t spend much time inside.

It is beautiful. There is a FREE Japanese Whirpool/​Sauna/​Spa in the building if you are a guest. If you stay there, I HIGHLY recommend it. The staff is friendly and helpful, the grounds are beautiful. The rooms are more condo-​ish than hotel-​ish. They have a kitchen and a living room area in addition to the bathroom (Which is great!) and the bedroom (Which is only ok). The bathroom has a bidet/​toilet and a bathtub AND shower, which is pretty awesome. All in all, it’s great for those on a romantic getaway who are interested in doing their own thing, and having a relaxing vacation. If you are looking for swanky digs in a big Marriott type hotel, then this isn’t the place for you. The pool leaves a lot to be desired, but the spa area is great.

It’s beautiful, serene and secluded! And I love secluded. Manicured gardens, beautiful views, very affordable. Yes, you have to take a shuttle to get anywhere or drive a car, or walk, but it’s worth it. All the rooms are suites with balconies, with an amazing view of Molokini, sunrises and sunsets.
It’s affordable too!

Ok, so I flew into the OGG airport in Maui for my cousins wedding. Maui in general is beautiful. But isn’t all of Hawall? I mean, really!
I arrived at this resort HOURS before my family did and hoped that the front desk would allow me to check in early. Happily, the front desk allowed me to check in b/​c the room wasn’t in my name, but my aunt’s. She also allowed me to check in HOURS earlier than check in. Sooo, i was very happy with that.
Good things: The staff here is really friendly. The room service was very good and always on top of it. The Mai Tai’s at the pool were some of the best I had while visiting. The SPA was outright, one of the BEST spa’s I have ever been too. It is Japanese style with 4 different forms of water massage. It was high about the resort with open windows. It overlooked the ocean and had this great breeze come in while you were in the spa. It was definitely, very cool!
Downfalls: The place is ULTRA secluded. You have to take the shuttle down or drive everywhere. It literally, is in the mountains. The pool is outdated and so is the hot tub. I felt a little pressured to tip for everything here. Every time I needed a shuttle down to the beach or to the shops at Wailea, I felt like I had this «pressure» on me to tip and I didn’t like it. Also, their room service is only good at certain times of day and it stopped fairly early in the night. In the little store, they didn’t sell sunscreen OR aloe vera gel! Weird! The Japanese restaurant there is VERY PRICEY!
Recommendations: Renting a car and driving throughout Maui for food AND shopping. DO NOT buy into any of their touristy ideas. They’re all too expensive and not that great. Ie. the road to Hana. Do it yourself:) And even stay a night or two in Hana. Totally worth it. The submarine. My family did it and it wasn’t worth it at all. $ 100 or something. Yipes.
*If you like peace and tranquility, stay here. Be prepared however for traveling in car quite a bit, tipping for nearly everything, not seeing a lot of people. There were not many people staying at this resort. Desolate!
IMO, there are better places to stay in Maui. The Grand Wailea is nice, but I hear it is outdated back to the 70’s style!
